Craig,
just for info:
I had to shim 2,5mm under the top deck with original 417(X) bulkheads.
I shimed not below the bulkheads for the moment. (Had not enough shims.)
So itīs like Andreas stated. With 417V5 bulkheads 1,5mm shims are needed under the topdeck. These come within the raceberry kit.

Is the Raceberry conversion kit worth getting?
Not many results yet, but 2 pages before Andreas stated to be 0,3 s faster than with his V5 before. And that already on carpet.
From the quality of the parts the kit is excellent.
Now you have to decide yourself.

BR,
Matthias
